Libtextcat is a library with functions that implement the classification
technique described in Cavnar & Trenkle, "N-Gram-Based Text Categorization" [1].
It was primarily developed for language guessing, a task on which it is known to
perform with near-perfect accuracy.

The central idea of the Cavnar & Trenkle technique is to calculate a
"fingerprint" of a document with an unknown category, and compare this with the
fingerprints of a number of documents of which the categories are known. The
categories of the closest matches are output as the classification. A
fingerprint is a list of the most frequent n-grams occurring in a document,
ordered by frequency. Fingerprints are compared with a simple out-of-place
metric.

N-Gram-Based Text Categorization, <http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/68861.html>.

-Repocopy devel/libtool15 -> libtool22 and libltdl15 -> libltdl22.
-Update libtool and libltdl to 2.2.6a.
-Remove devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15.
-Fix ports build with libtool22/libltdl22.
-Bump ports that depend on libltdl22 due to shared library version change.
-Explain what to do update in the UPDATING.

It has been tested with GNOME2, XFCE4, KDE3, KDE4 and other many wm/desktop
and applications in the runtime.

Update CONFIGURE_ARGS for how we pass CONFIGURE_TARGET to configure script.
Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.

To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.

To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.

Import patches (imported from OpenOffice.org 2.3 by Fedora, at least in
part). These patches, released under a BSD license, seem to improve the
accuracy of language detection, especially those that don't have a
Latin script.

Use libtool port instead of included version to avoid objformat a.out botch
